aeroplanes, the government needs and
must have.
For the purpose of equipping this
country for war this year Congress
has appropriated 1 billion dollars.
Do you know what a billion dollars is?
Perhaps you can understand it a lit
tle better when you know that all the
money spent by our government from
its beginning down to the present
time amounts to little over 26 billion
dollars. And just think the U. S. has
got to have 19 billion dollars in one
year. Where is it coming from? Why
right from the United States. Our
people are going to raise it. And
how? By saving-in every way they
can. There are numberless ways in
which we can save. We can deny our
selves of many little pleasures and
luxuries which are not beneficial to
us-such as buying cold drinks, candy,
chewing gum and going to moving
picture shows and other places of
amusement. This is not a time for
amusements, but for serious thoughts.
But don't take it all out in thinking
let us got to work and help our soldier
boys win this great fight. It is easy
to save our pennies, nickles, (limes,
and it will surprise you to know how
quickly nickles and dimes will amount
to dollars. Do not spend your money
foolishly for things you do not need,
for every time you spend a dollar you
either help our government or you
help the enemy. There are three
things you can do with a dollar: You
can hoard it; you can spend it, or yOu
can invest it. A hoarded dollar is an
idle dollar and is just as much a drag
on a community as an idle man. The
idle dollar is a slacker, But there is
something worse than a slacker. A
slacker does not do anything actively
to defeat the nation's purposes. A
dollar that you spei:d needlessly, a
dollar that employs labor and con
sumes material that could be used by
the government, is an ally to the ene
my. If you hoard your money and
the Germans win this war, your mon
ev will be worthless, so why keep it?
The president is sending a direct ap.
peal to you, boys and girls, to save
your money and lend it to the Govern
ment. Do not let your dollar be a
slacker, or traitor dollar, but make the
most of it a patriotic dollar by lending
it to the government.
Because Uncle Sam needs money
to fight your battles, to protect you'
homes he is having a special bar
gain sale of War-Savings Stamps. To
(lay you can buy a $5 War-Savings
Stamp for $4.16. Next month they
will cost you $4.17, and in December
$4.23. They cost one cent more each
month, and if you buy one today it
ber. When you buy a Thrift Stamn
you can get a pocket folder with
spaces for 16 War Savings Stamps.
It is the Government's promise to pay
the amount represented by the stamp
and it can be redeemed in January,
1923, or before then if the money is
needed. It is as good as a bank note
or a Liberty Bond, and is one of the
safest investments we can make of
our money.
To those who cannot afford to buy a
Bond the Government is selling Thrift
Stamps. These stamps cost only 25
cents and are similar to postage
stamps. Any boy or girl can buy one
of these. But don't stop with one;
buy as many as possible. You can
get a Thrift Card free with your name
on it when you buy a Thrift Stamp.
When 16 stamps have been attached
to your Thrift card it is then worth
$4.00. This $4.00 card, together with
the odd( cents reqluiredl, may then be
used( to buy a War Savings Stamp at
the month selling price.
[Now, what are y~ou going to do0?
Are you going right on spending your
money foolishly, thus aidling the en
('my andl proving a traitor to your
country? Or are you going to save
all the money you can and buy Tlhrift
Stamps that wil Ibe helping our Gov
ernment and our Allies. Gur' boys at
the front are fighting for us--to pro
tect our homes, our country, our~ loved
ones and us. But they can't win the
war alone. When our Liberty and
F ,ree~dom are threatened, are we going
to sit idly at home and (do nothing ?
Let us get to work and (do our bit in
this wvar. If we ('annot fight there are
countless wvays in which we can help,
Sc) let us get to wvork and buy War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps,
9 and give our brave soldier boys such
hearty support at home that it will
put new courage in them, and they
will be sure to be victorious in thi's
great struggle.

lies, Great Britain has spent seven.
France five and Germany six. Nor
should it be forgotten that both our
population and national wealth great
ly exceed those of any of the three.
It takes pennies to make dollars.
If every one in the country were to
save a penny a day the total would
exceed a million dollars. A million
a. day means three hundred and sixty
five millions a year. Ten cents a
day means nearly four billion a year
-almost the amount of the Second
Liberty Loan. When nevt you are
tempted to say to yourself "My mite
is so small that it couldn't count," re
member these figures. Remember
these figures. Remember that the
might of the nation depends on your
mite, and that every needless expendi
ture you resist makes it so much easi
er for you- and some one else- to
resist the next time.
A Thrift Pocket is a character
builder; it tests your capacity to re
sist. You will find it alluring as the
Penny Bank you once had on the man
tle piece. Select the pocket-any one
will do-and then select the coin.
Suppose your "Thrift Coin" is a
nickle. Every nickle you get goes in
to the thrift pocket. You can not bor
row from the thrift poc:et, nor lend
from it. Experience proves that it
isn't wise even to make change
from it, and that it is a failure
if you are not honest, scrupulously
honest with it. Exery time it gets
over-heavy go to the Post Office or
a bank-Thrift Stamps are light.
All the dolhrs in the world could
not buy victory, becaur-e victory is not
purchasable-it is won. Dollars can
work for victory only in so far as
they are converted into labor and ma
terials. A dollar hoarded is a slacker
a dollar wasted is a traitor; a dollar
saved is as patriot. For a hoarded
dollar represents idle power; a vast
ed dollar represents wasted power; a
dollar saved represents power saved,
labor saved, materials saved-it rep
resents pover, labor, and materials in
action, on the firing line, over the top.
A nd more--it represents reserve pow
er, energy stored, purchasing power
conserved for its owner.
.John Wesley said, "Mak all you
can; save all you all; give all you
can."
Nevelle Sprott
It has been said by some great
thinker that the test of success is the
ability to save. Do you wish to be
successsful? Then you must save!
Do you wish to be patriotic ? Then
you must save. I)o you expect to win
this war? Then you must save!. I am
sure that none of us means to be un
patriotic. We would not be slackers
for the world, but the greatest trou
ble with us Americans as a whole, the
great trouble with us South Carolin
ians, yes, the great trouble with us,
the people of Clarendon County and
the town of Manning is that wve do
not take the time to consider seriously
this great question of Saving. It
would be easy to save if we would
only think that in the taking care of
our pennies, nickles and dimes, we are
taking care of our boys over there,
giving them food, clothing and wveap
ons with which to fight for their free
(loim and for. the freedom of us who
are at home. I used to th ink that the
only way of helping to wvin this was
was by actually going over the top, "
and on the front firing lines, shoot
dlown our enemies, and I am glad it is
not that way, for I am too young to
fight and I do so want to help in some
self-sacrificing way to wvin this, the
greatest war of human history.
E'verybodly is anx ions to (do his
p~art. If we are to win it is ab~solutely
nec'essary that every man, wvoman,
boy or girl do his or her part. D~o n)ot
buy a thing unless it is simeth ing you
nmust have to make you strong and ef
ficient. IDo not waste anything. Your
country is dlepending on you. Extrav
agance costs blood, the blood( of our
heroes,'' says Lloyd G;eorge. War sav
ers are life savers-wvaste'rs in war
times wvaste. lives. F'riendls, save your
